Application filed June 11, 1915.

To (lat/771.011 it mr j/ coma (It:

Be it linown that I. Chins W. Born-m, a citizen ol the FilllX-EtlStates, and a resident of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State oiNew York, have invented a new and useful. .linproven'ient in Ten andPencil Clips, of which the 'l'ollo .viug is a specification. i

This invention relates to a clip designed more particularly for use withfountain pens, and it has to do with means for at tachine' it in astable manner to the part of the fountain perv-"usually the cap-on whichit is mounted.

The invention will fir t he described in eonnertion will the acemnpznrviSI drawings forming part of this specification, and will then lie moreparticularly pointed out in the claim.

in the draxving----higuze .l. a perspective view ol the complete device.Fig. 2- view of the two parts of which it is courposed, separated fromone t-lllfltliiii. Fig. 3 is a. view ol the cap on which the clip is tohe mounted. Fig. -t is 51 side elevation of a fountain pen' prrrrided.with a cop and a. clip nL-ounied on and attached to the esp inaccordance with the invention.

A. is the clip proper, and l; is the split ring or annular clasp onwhich lhe'clip is fastened. 'lhe split ring 15' is' a narrow band oistout spring metal, which at one point on it has an enlargement or boss7) to term a seat for the base (L of the clip A, which tits on the seatand is tightly held thereto by rivet a as indicated. The meeting: endsof the. split spring ring are recessed on their exterior opposite edgesfor a certain distance, forming each end as tongue, which [its into therecess in the other,somewhat after the fashion of the similarly formedmeeting ends of an exp-aw sible piston packing ring, with :1 view toprovide a smooth and sightly joint.

I) is a fountain pen and C is the cop therefor. in Fig. 3 the cap isshown seput'eto from the clip.- It has in its exterior, at aSpecification of Letters Patent.

suitable point, a narrow annular groove 0 of a width to receive snuglythe narrow split spring: ring 15, and of such depth preferably that thering, when fitted into the groove, will be substantially flush with theexterior of the cap. At one point in the groove 0 is an enlargement orrecess 0' of shape and size to receive the boss i) on the ring, whichboss fits snugly and closely in said enlargenient.

The finished clip can he applied without trouble to the cap, the splitring being capable of expansion. suilicient to permit it to slide overthe :rior of the cap up to the groove 0, whiz. it snaps into, closingupso that it lies sine; and tight in the groove, with its hoes :3 fittingclosely in the en-- .lare ed part 0 formed for its reception. In thisway the clip is, to all intents and purposes, 'astencd permanently tothe cap, the engine nent of the split spring ring with the ore wepreventing the clip from being drawn oil. l'roin the cap, while theengagement of its hoss r) with the enlarged part c of; the groove prexenls any rotary movement of the clip on the cup.

Having des rihed my invention and the best.- way now known to me ofcarrying th same into practical elleet, what 1 claim here in us new anddesire to secure by Letters Patent is:

A clip for pens and pencils consisting of a clip proper and a narrowstill split spring metal ring or hand provided with a'hoss orenlargifenient serving as a seat upon which the base of the clip ismounted and secured, in eon hination with the cylindrical body uponwhich the clip is n'iountcd formed with an annular external groove in.which the ing, is received and .lits tightly and with an enlargcn ientcorresponding to the boss on the ring, in which said boss is receivedand held, substiintially as and for the purposes here-inhefore setforth.

In testimony whereof I ntliX my signature.
